It's FLL-
rated! (And not too soon...it's been raining steadily since early this morning).
Those following
Hurricane Wilma just found out this morning
that a series of three new tropical storms are expected to combine and bring bad weather/rain to the Gulf of
Maine. I missed whether they are to
precede Hurricane Wilma's effects here or follow it. (Thursday's forecast mentioned a Wilma-glance of Cape Cod / Nova Scotia)
My dock is nailed
and chained together, so there's no need to buy garbage cans. 'Hope Lakeport is reading these forecasts, though.
With the lake touching the dock, it's a good time to check the "levelness" of our docks. I see Mee'n'Mac's is slightly out of kilter, just as mine is.
With so much ice damage around the lake in 2002 -- and no barges available in June -- I had to fix my dock with levers, hoist-winches, and water pressure. (A water-circulater failed when some object shredded the propeller).
In my case, the ice pushed the near pilings
in some. The repair couldn't lower the "near" pilings by very much.
